AI is reshaping businesses and their expectations for MBA graduates. I spoke to @jonathansperling.bsky.social on a @columbiabusiness.bsky.social panel with Gracy Sarkissian about the skills that students need to thrive in the era of AI-supported work. business.columbia.edu/insights/AI-...

I joined Y a pas deux matins pareils hosted by Nicolas Haddad to discuss Trump’s State of the Union Address, tariffs, and what they could mean for trade, prices, and North American supply chains. ici.radio-canada.ca/ohdio/premie...

CNBC’s Jessica Dickler asked me what the Supreme Court’s tariff ruling means for Donald Trump’s proposed $2,000 “tariff dividend” checks. Even if the White House finds a legal pathway to keep tariffs in place, Congress would still have to authorize any rebate program. www.cnbc.com/2026/02/23/t...

I spoke with @apnews.com's Rio Yamat and @maetron.bsky.social for @pbsnews.org about what a pause or end to the Iran War means for the American consumer. Even when oil starts moving, reductions in grocery and air travel prices could be months away. www.pbs.org/newshour/amp...

Looking ahead at Warsh’s term, I spoke with @forbes.com’s @dchemtob.bsky.social about the role of the chair in maintaining Fed independence amid White House pressure to cut interest rates. www.forbes.com/sites/daniel...

In addition to driving up prices, the Iran war has added to rattles in the already-shaky market for private credit. I spoke with @businessinsider.com’s Samuel O’Brient about how the war exacerbates the market’s pre-existing weaknesses. www.businessinsider.com/economist-co...

If done right, the new Canadian sovereign wealth fund could help promising start-ups and innovators stay in Canada and rely less on foreign capital. My piece for @macleans.bsky.social explores the factors that could make the Canada Strong Fund a success. macleans.ca/economy/sove...

Even as the price of crude falls back to pre-war levels, an immediate drop in gas prices is unlikely. I discussed the Iran war’s long-term impact on the economy with Gregory Schmidt, @rebeccafelliott.bsky.social, and Lisa Friedman of @nytimes.com. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/26/b...

Greatpiece by Ilona Dougherty and @brettehouse.bsky.social. So obvious, but so very little comment on the girl/boy job split in industrial strategy. THANK YOU for using my chart from @jasonkirby.bsky.social's Globe "Charts To Watch" charatapalooza this year. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

I joined John Kiernan on PennyWise to break down what a 10% cap on credit card interest rates would really do to household finances and the broader economy. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/1...

Tekedia’s Samuel Nwite flagged what Donald Trump’s nomination of Kevin Warsh to lead the Federal Reserve could mean for rate policy and Fed independence as Jerome Powell’s term ends in May. www.tekedia.com/trump-names-...

Join us for a conversation with emerging public policy leaders on extreme weather and climate resilience. The 2025-26 @actioncanada.bsky.social Fellows will present policy findings and recommendations developed through 10 months of interviews, consultations and research across the country.

CNBC’s Jessica Dickler asked me what Donald Trump’s pick of Kevin Warsh to lead the Federal Reserve could mean for consumers as Jerome Powell’s term ends in May. www.cnbc.com/2026/01/30/t...

@forbes.com Danielle Chemtob asked me about the Fed's decision to hold rates steady at its January 28 meeting. The rate decision was a sideshow. The real story was the ongoing pressure campaign against Federal Reserve independence. www.forbes.com/sites/daniel...

A 10% cap on credit card interest rates sounds like instant relief for US consumers. It risks becoming a negative shock to credit access. When you cap rates in a high-risk market, you do not eliminate risk. I spoke with Sheryl Estrada for Fortune. fortune.com/2026/01/16/w...

We’re looking forward to having @brettehouse.bsky.social, economics professor at @columbiauniversity.bsky.social, back as a panel moderator at #GrowthSummit2026 in Toronto!

I spoke with Alex Abad-Santos for @vox.com about how airlines segment and unbundle the flying experience, then use consumer data to optimize fees and “premium” add-ons. www.vox.com/culture/4760...

"Trade is not fundamentally about competition. It's not us versus Canada. It's us and Canada." It's really about cooperation. And if the United States won't cooperate reliably with Canada, we shouldn't be surprised when Canada looks for new friends to cooperate with. And Americans miss out.

An attack on Fed independence is not a tactic. It is a self-inflicted wound. Undermine the Fed and consumers pay for it over time through higher inflation risk, higher long-term rates, and market volatility. I spoke w/ Gregory Iacurci and Jessica Dickler for @cnbc.com. www.cnbc.com/2026/01/12/f...

One 2025 AI surprise: the scale of data-centre investment and how much it is showing up in U.S. growth, with potential to crowd out other capital spending. My contribution in Columbia Business School's Digital Future faculty roundup by Jonathan Sperling: business.columbia.edu/insights/dig...

In Jason Kirby’s 2026 Charts for @theglobeandmail.com, I look at how Ottawa’s push to increase investment inevitably means that Canada will see larger capital inflows and bigger trade deficits in the years ahead—and that’s a good thing! www.theglobeandmail.com/business/int...

I joined IONA Asks for a conversation on what shaped the economic outlook in 2025 and what to watch in the months ahead. spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/qas7hIzVpZb

I was featured in Columbia Business School’s series on how AI is reshaping academic research. For me, generative AI has become a practical partner in early-stage thinking — helping frame ideas and map the intellectual landscape before the hard work begins. business.columbia.edu/insights/dig...

I joined Columbia Business School’s Digital Future series on AI in 2025. My word of the year is “energy.” Without abundant, affordable power, AI ambition quickly hits its limits. business.columbia.edu/insights/dig...

I spoke with Margaretha Levander at EFN Ekonomikanalen about President Trump’s tax and spending policies. With low unemployment and inflation still above target, the U.S. doesn’t need more stimulus. The better move now would be to end the White House trade war. efn.se/trumps-nya-d...

In @cnbc.com, I spoke about what another Fed rate cut could mean for household borrowing. A small move from the Fed won't help everyone: variable-rate debt may ease a bit, but rates on longer-term loans like mortgages depend on bond-market yields and inflation. www.cnbc.com/2025/12/08/w...

Tariff swings are forcing retailers to rethink sourcing in real time. I spoke with Maithili Shenoy at Columbia Business School about how resilience and smarter planning are reshaping global supply chains. Full piece by Katie Gilbert: business.columbia.edu/insights/cli...

The numbers behind $2,000 “tariff rebate checks” don’t add up. I spoke with CNBC’s Jessica Dickler about why this proposal isn’t likely to become real policy. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/11/t...

New York’s new mayor is promising sweeping reforms — from rent freezes to expanded child care. In Life with Mamdani from Columbia Business School, I noted the new child care plans could improve access for families, but the full economic cost isn’t yet clear. www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8kp...

Markets are charged up heading into the Fed’s rate decision — but more cuts may not be what the economy needs. I spoke with EFN about why overstimulation could unsettle inflation expectations and why the U.S. might not need extra stimulus right now. Full more: efn.se/varningen-in...

New York’s mayoral race is spotlighting how policy meets practicality. I spoke with @columbiauniversity.bsky.social on how universal childcare boosts labour participation and growth—even if it isn’t fully self-financing. Great piece by Jonathan Sperling: business.columbia.edu/insights/bus...

Auto repossessions are surging. That’s not just a story about the car market — it’s a warning about household finances. As I shared with Edward Helmore, when auto borrowers start falling behind, it’s often a signal that consumer budgets are getting tighter. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Private debt markets are expanding, but transparency hasn’t kept up. That's a problem. As I told Edward Helmore at The Guardian, when assets aren’t marked to market and no one knows where the risks are concentrated, shocks can catch the system off guard. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

The GOP can’t claim fiscal discipline while cutting taxes and boosting spending. As I noted to BBC News' Anthony Zurcher, that contradiction speaks louder than any budget rhetoric. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Policy volatility, rising tariffs, and cooling job growth are reshaping the outlook for small and mid-sized businesses in North America. I moderated a panel at Columbia Business School that looked at these key signals for SME leaders. Read the write-up here: business.columbia.edu/insights/fin...

The shutdown is just one layer of the uncertainty weighing on the US economy. As I noted to Allison Morrow at @cnn.com, statistical blind spots, tariff volatility, and weakened institutions are eroding investor confidence at a critical time. www.cnn.com/2025/10/02/b...

The Fed’s next rate-cut decision may be made with incomplete data. I discussed the implications of the US government shutdown for the Observer—from missing jobs numbers to rising inflation, policymakers could be flying blind at a pivotal moment. observer.com/2025/10/gove...

President Trump’s new tariffs on trucks, furniture and medicines risk adding more pressure to prices, supply chains and cross-border trade. I discussed the potential fallout with @washingtonpost.com reporters Andrew Jeong and Victoria Craw. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Tricolor’s collapse is a warning sign. When subprime auto borrowers fall behind, the cracks in the economy start to show. I spoke with @financialtimes.com reporters about what this signals for US households and labour markets. www.ft.com/content/3e8f...

The Fed’s rate cut brings some relief—but not for everyone. Jessica Dickler at CNBC looks at how borrowing and savings costs are shifting. I shared a few thoughts on what that means for household budgets in a higher-inflation economy. www.cnbc.com/2025/09/17/f...
